Realme has announced that 28 February at MWC 2022 Mobile World Congress expo in Barcelona will see the company reveal its latest fast-charging technology, which it claims will be the world’s fastest charging solution for smartphones.
Taking to Twitter to announce the exciting teaser, Realme even asked its followers to guess the potential wattage that the charger would boast, ahead of its launch in a week. The accompanying #GreaterThanYouSee hashtag is definitely encouraging.
"Realme’s fast charging technology is always ahead of the curve, especially when compared to devices in the same segment. As part of Realme’s 2022 resolution and revolution of going premium, 70% of corporate Research & Development resources will be invested into technology innovations, charging technology being one of the integral parts," said the company, in a press release.
Indeed, it was Realme who introduced 125W fast charging last year, so we can realistically expect the upcoming solution to surpass this. Prolific tipster, Digital Chat station, said earlier this month that Realme’s upcoming smartphone will support 150W fast charging and this now seems all the more likely. If so, Realme will almost certainly steal the show at MWC this year.
